Cons:

• "Food was cold, squashed and smaller in portion compared to usual as well."
• "Overpriced load of trendy mess! Everything tasted like a salt mine!"
• "Burgers were all dry and tasteless."
• "What I actually got was 2 super thin tasteless, dry slightly burnt beef burgers with rubbery thin slice of bacon."
• "The fried pickles was the only downfall of the meal, the pickle slices were slim and too much batter, some were burnt so there was no pickle to be found, just batter."

Service

Pros:

• "The staff were so on point!! Everyone was attentive- fast service, suggest alternative beers, it’s be great- food is banging!"
• "Had some trouble with a delivery with Uber eats but spoke to Tom over the phone (shout out to Tom - you’re the best) who was wonderful and helpful and managed to get our order sorted out with a kind and gracious manner."
• "The staff members were lovely and welcoming."
• "Great experience, great staff and great atmosphere."
• "The service was just as good as the food too."
• "The staff very helpful."

Cons:

• "Did called them and the girl told us over the phone to send an email with the issue, which I did that same night and no interest from them to get back since then."
• "Service here was abysmal, we saw two couples come in, sit down and walk out as they hadn’t even been offered a menu after 15mins of waiting."
• "It’s been an hour and still waiting to be served."
• "I ordered online, was told when I went at my scheduled pick up time that it’s delayed 5 mins. 10 mins later they said they don’t have the order and there is a problem with the system."
• "No check back on the food either and no apologies from anyone about the errors in our order or the length of time it took to rectify."
• "The waiter was rude, arrogant and done poorly at his basic job."
• "Disgusted by the extremely poor customer service at this branch."

Value

Pros:

• "Thought this place was fairly priced for a mid day lunch, the portions were big,"
• "Anyone who likes burgers they do a £10 lunch deal for any burger, chips and unlimited drinks."
• "Had the lunchtime special £10 (any burger, fries and refillable soda) upgrades welcomed. Really enjoyed it for my first time here."
• "Also every Dulwich Hamlet home game, if you wear your colours or show your match ticket you get 20% off."
• "They even threw in a couple of beers (welcome but entirely unnecessary)."
• "The staff picked up on it being for a birthday (it wasn't noted when I made the booking), offering a delicious desert on the house."
• "Can highly recommend the burgers, the wings are really, really good too."

Cons:

• "Ramp that bill up even further with an ott service charge and a forced charity donation."
• "It was £71 on a take away that having happily eat here in the past I will never do so again."
• "For £8.50 asking price I should of gone for the wings instead."
• "I can overlook the exorbitant prices (one single burger alone is over double some large McDonald's meals) given the location, the unusual setting and professional clientele I presume it attracts, but I didn't like the 12.5% service charge they added without my permission."
• "For £30 each it really wasn’t great."
• "Just paid £53 for a delivery of 3 burgers and 2 sides."
• "£61 for a hot dog, cheeseburger, 1 chips, portion of onion rings, 1 medium white wine and 1 milkshake! Avoid at all costs."

Atmosphere

Pros:

• "nice diner-esque vibe inside - unpretentious with good tunes, good beers and obviously great burgers."
• "Also, the restaurant is dive bar-rock star chic."
• "The environment is great and I will definitely visit again."
• "It’s a mash up of the great American burger joint meets the great British pub."
• "Very interesting to be in a burger restaurant with the set up of an actual bar. I liked the Shoreditch vibe. Good buzz."
• "Brilliant atmosphere very cool modern look with a taste of American style food,"
• "Good service. Lively atmosphere."

Cons:

• "The music for me is so loud and the vibe is more like club feeling than restaurant."
• "But an absolute massive Disappointment In the atmosphere!!!"
• "Whenever a bus pulls into the stop outside the light is obscured and it feels how I imagine the beginning of the apocalypse feels like, with cocktails."
• "The music was way too loud and we couldn't hear ourselves speak, and the seating is most uncomfortable."
• "Really not a fan of the ‘discretionary’ extra charges that make their way onto the bill."
• "It’s already a very expensive place to eat."
• "Great food let down by poor customer service."
